These are Barton Cave, Coon Cave and Lemon Hole. The caves were gated to protect hibernating bats and the DCNR allows visitation during the times when the bats are not hibernating. This is generally from Memorial Day weekend through the end of September. MAKC helps the DCNR close the caves, monitors the caves during the times when they are open, and helps with any other management issues that we are able to, such as conducting cleanups. MAKC members discovered a huge sinkhole above the cave that caused debris to wash into the Pittsburgh Passage. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bdbc01c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"bdbc01c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e43cb3b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e43cb3b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.karst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/barton-2011-2-1024x685.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-8170\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.karst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/barton-2011-2-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.karst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/barton-2011-2-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.karst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/barton-2011-2-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.karst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/barton-2011-2-1536x1028.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.karst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/barton-2011-2-2048x1371.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.karst.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/barton-2011-2-600x402.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each fall the MAKC assists the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources in closing three<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8169,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[124,74,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-barton-cave","category-news","category-preserves"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
